Since 1999, AIDT has been included in the top seven workforce training
programs in the country and was ranked #1 in 2004 and 2006 and is currently
ranked #2. AIDT is the only job training incentive program in the world that has
an ISO 9001:2008 certification for quality and continuous improvement.
Alabama has moved to the top in several industry categories, including the
automotive industry, now producing just fewer than 1 million vehicles. AIDT is an
integral part of the Alabama Department of Commerce. As such, AIDT has been
a powerful incentive program involved in virtually all the new job opportunities
offered to Alabama citizens over the last several years.

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Studies Education degree from the Middle
Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
